Amrut Distilleries clinched three double golds and one gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025, becoming the only Indian distillery to achieve the feat, said the company in a press statement.
"We are extremely pleased to receive this award from such a prestigious forum. It reaffirms that we are crafting spirits of truly world-class repute, and strengthens our resolve in the continued pursuit of delivering exceptional quality to our consumers," said Rakshit N Jagdale, Managing Director, Amrut Distilleries.
The accolades are as follows:
● Amrut Fusion Single Malt – Double Gold
● Amrut Indian Single Malt – Double Gold
● Amrut Kurinji Indian Single Malt – Double Gold
● Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt – Gold
For the first time, among single malts, Indian whisky outsold Scotch in 2024. This was helped by increasing affinity for local premium malts even as sales of the Scotch fell. "After advancing by more than 75% in 2023, annual sales of Indian single malts came within 9,000 nine-litre cases of surpassing sales of single malt Scotch,” said alcohol market researcher IWSR.
India's growing alcobev market
Alcoholic beverage manufacturers in the country are expected to witness a revenue growth of 8-10% at ₹5.3 lakh crore in the current financial year, keeping up momentum after a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% over the three preceding fiscals, a Crisil report said.
The operating profitability will increase 60-80 basis points (bps), supported by continuing premiumisation, Crisil Ratings said in a report. The industry is dominated by spirits, which contribute 65-70% of total revenue, with the remaining coming from beer, wine and country liquor, said the report.
Spirits are alcoholic beverages produced through distillation, whereas beer and wine are made through fermentation. The industry volume will grow 5-6%, driven by urbanisation, an increase in drinking population and rising disposable income, it added.
